Charity Bike Build – Together We Care

Welcome to the home of the world’s most popular team building program – The Charity Bike Build charity team building event! From the creative folks at TeamBonding our facilitators have helped hundreds of companies just like yours build bikes for kids for charity – more than 10,000 bicycles and counting – around the world.

One of your fondest childhood memories is probably the day you received your very first bicycle for your birthday or Christmas, wrapped with a big bow around the handlebars. You probably spent all summer outside, cycling around with your friends, or going on rides through the woods with your family.

But for the many impoverished families throughout America, it can be tough to afford the cost of food and rent, let alone luxuries like toys and bikes. Although bicycling can help children build coordination and self-esteem, and provides a wonderful source of exercise, many kids are forced to go without this cherished childhood pastime.

In this terrific team building event, teams armed with wrenches and enthusiasm race to construct the ultimate human-powered, no-gasoline-needed rocket: children’s bicycles. Meanwhile, other teammates are navigating fun, innovative puzzles and challenges to earn enough ‘money’ for purchasing that last crucial part needed to make their team’s bike the first off the line.

The final bell rings. You wheel your mechanical marvels to the presentation/start line. Everyone is poised to present their bike and accompanying TV commercial when a door at the end of the room bursts open. Suddenly, you see the excited faces of underserved children from your own community! Imagine the delight and surprise that fill the room when everybody learns these kids actually get to take your new bicycles home with them. For most of the children involved, typically ages 7-10, this will be their first bicycle!

This is an extraordinary way to infuse a conference with energy, create a feeling of immense good will and a sense of meaning larger than day-to-day work challenges. We partner with charities such as Boys and Girls Club and neighborhood health centers. We’re happy to partner with a local charity of your choice.

In typical TeamBonding style, we take care of all the logistics, making you look good while making the whole event simple and painless. Remember, keep this one a surprise for the participants – don’t spill the beans! The surprise value of the big finale cannot be overstated.
